The British developed two excellent armored cars in parallel during WW II: the Daimler Armored Car (DAC) and the Daimler Dingo. The DAC was equipped with heavier armor and a 40mm anti-tank gun in addition to a machine gun. It proved it worth during the North African campaign and was eventually used on every front. Later in the war, the anti-tank guns on many DACs were modified with 'Littlejohn' adapters, adding armor penetration at the expense of range. The much lighter Dingo excelled in command and reconnaissance roles and was a favourite among officers. Both models continued in service after the war.
